Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san - Vol. 24 Ch. 205 - Yuuna-san, Remembers

[Lex79]

I wasn't expecting that would be her regret, but I don't dislike it. Now author just find a way to have Kogarashi and Yuuna be happy together. Possibly with all the other girls in an harem.

This is pretty insane. I’ve always loved these time paradox and inception tropes because it rounds out the story in an interesting way.

Here’s Yuuna, experiencing a flashback to her lost memories via Ryuuzen. There, she regains her memories of her time as Genryuusai and finds out that she always wanted to experience love. Then on her deathbed, Ryuuzen decides to show Genryuusai her future, in which she gains her future self’s memories of her with the love of her life. Yuuna then finally figures out what her regret is, and why she became bound to the Yuragi inn. That’s because she would have regretted not taking the opportunity to experience real love if she had just passed on.
This roundabout way of making the future and the past connect like this is really compelling to me, since it gives me a vibe that all of what happened before Yuuna’s flashback was some sort of fate that never would’ve happened if Genryuusai never had the regret of not experiencing real love. At the same time, that same regret might just be the downfall of Yuuna/Genryuusai’s wish to experience love, because once that regret is fulfilled, she might just pass on, leaving everybody behind for real. Of course, I don’t want Yuuna to go out like that, since it would just be a tragic ending to all this build up. That’s why this it’s really compelling to me, since readers like me who want nothing but happiness for this crew want to see if the author is benevolent enough to let us see that happy ending, which makes that us keep reading this.
And you know what, I don’t have a problem with that. The author’s pretty good in my book for catering to reader’s who just wants a happy ending for all these guys.

i called that regret in chapter 50, easy mode 8)

 

[b-no]

Paradoxical, isn't it?

 

[kaikuro]

the first image just rape my eyes for a second and burn that image deep to my mind

 

[emMeBi86]

So...her regret was supposed to be the thing that kept her bound to the world.
Now we know that her regret was knowing MC in the future, and for that she had to remain as a ghost.

So...what is that binds her, now? I mean, she already became a ghost and she met MC...so technically her regret should be lifted? 🤔

 

[Frozeneye]

Yeah sure, that's probably more or less the main twist the author had in mind for Yuuna from the start.
The plot around that is just very jumbled up.
I'd love to have seen a cleaner version of this whole story with many of the unnecessary side-stories cut out.
A movie or novel version could maybe solve that, or they could go for a shorter anime version. Where's this ones anime at right now anyways?

 

[EtanRed]

Soo, a self fulfilling prophecy...

 

[rebel16]

@Frozeneye Still just one season and an OVA. And I still think it's weird that the first episode

Spoiler

opens at the end, with Kogarashi watching Yuuna ascend to the heavens - something we still haven't gotten to in the manga - and then jumps back to the beginning and never mentions it again.

 

[Koikoi]

So she creates a paradox where her regret is something in the future which means she can't pass on

 

[PrivatePublic]

...is there anything stopping Yuuna from possessing the body of her original? The one her "father" had in stasis? Didn't the "real" Yuuna pass on already?

 

[Karretch]

@PrivatePublic The real body rotted away from the disease. The stasis magic only preserved her appearance.

 

[PrivatePublic]

@Karretch Ah, thanks. Guess that isn't going to work as a solution.

 

[DISCO_BOT]

Well, at least this makes sense

 

[SoMaKa]

Woah, what a total mindfuck.

 

[Jesotku]

This is the power of the real heroine not some basic bitch school girl.

 

[Draikar]

Chapter 206 is even more confusing than this one (read the spoilers)

 

[Makenai]

@boomshakaking Wish I could like your comment here. Pretty much my opinion as well.

 

[Richman]

After ignoring this series for the lack of plot progression, i'm glad i decided to read it again from where i left, i think i know where this is going and it's gonna be sad if i'm right.

@Boomshakaking +1

@b-no indeed it is
